Jones has put
together a remarkable novel encompassing the lives of four sisters who, through
the ingenious efforts of their mother, all become queens throughout medieval
Europe.
Each sister is represented by the cunning description their
mother paints according to the wants of the targeted king or king-to-be.
Granted, to be a queen of a country and its provinces sounds
worldly, heady, and full of perks, yet the actual lives and forfeits of freedom
for the sisters sounds downright primitive and full of abuse.
Love is not considered in the trade for a kingdom, yet each
sister strains her efforts to find love amidst the trading, money, wars, and
all it takes to be a queen.
An unforgettable novel full of sacrifices for the family,
love, and politics.
Happy reading,
Dawn
